~ Ghost at tho Telephone.

/ heard Il story not long ago OF All
undertaken who was called up in the
night by u ring which tho central oilico
operator said was from one Of the great
cemeteries, and tho voice that called
him was SO strange that it mado him
slluddcr. 1t was wonderfully distinct,
and yet 80 slow, SO cold, and so far
away, that it sounded like nothing else
that lie had ever heard. 1t uttered not
4 single word except ~ long g-drawn-ollt
sIIel-lo! Hcl-lo-o-ol IIcl-l-o-o-o-o-oi"
And tho moro ho shouted back, tho
moro that one ghostly call came over The
wire to him. Dum-founded ut last, he
hung up his telephone and sat down,
but mctitatcd uneasiiy, while tho sound
still rang in his ear. Then he jumped
up and rang for tho central Office.
"Givc me Mo- hc called. That
was tho cemetery. Presently he had
the connection. "Wcrc you calling me
just now!" he asked. s'Calling youp
Certainly not. Haven't called to-night.n
Then ho abjurgated the central Office.
"Ccrtainly the cemetery did ask for
you," said the operator, sand I made
tho connections Next night tho slmo
callcame, and the shuddcring undertaken
heard the same ghostly "ITel-lo-o-o-o"
until ho could hear it no longer. Then
the same colloquy with the cemetery
Office and the central operator followed.
l am told that the undertaken grew
almost insane with the ghost call, as he
soon began to regard it, and had the
telephone taken out Of his shop, 10 the
great dctrimcnt Of his trade, but that llo
aftcrward had it replaced, and, though
he has not since been called UP by The
yoicesfroin tho other world. he sits in
nightly dread Of it.

SCIENTIFIC.

The recent communication Of Nj. Fe-
llx Humbert and M. Henry in regard
10 the method Of producing pure hydro
gen, and Of making water gas at an ex-
tremoly low cost, has caused a sensa-
ton all over Europe. The process con-
slsts In causing small jets Of steam to
impinge upon incandescent coke,
whereby, the car5on being In excess,
tho steam is decomposed into equal
volumes OF hydrogen and monoxide Of
carbon; and, further, in leading these
gases over a large surface Of highly
heated refractory substance in presence
of fresh supply Of superheated steam,
whereby tho burning of the carbon to
dlOxlde Is effected and another volume
OF hydrogen is liberated. George G /.
Andre asserts in the Colltery Guardian
that this process is described in the pat
ents Of Jacquelain, Gaudin and Bou-
chain, taken out as early as 1854. The
authors Of tho communication say that
ono ton Of coke produces about 10000
feet Of gas, which is eleven times the
quantity Of q ton OF coal, which reduces
the cost Of the gas to q very low Dgure
very little, indeed. it may be sup
posed, above the cost or natural gas,
when the difficulty Of controlling that
gas Is taken into account.

TIE raising Of turnip and cabbage
seed has proved very profitable, and
added materially to the income Of the
farmers OH the east end OF Long Island.
One farmer near Mattituck is said to
have cleared $1,000 from cabbage seed
alone. Another made S12O from tur-
MP seed raised on q small plot. The
main crops in that section are caui-
flowers, cabbages and potatoes, ana the
raising OF seed has heretofore been sub
sdiary to these crops, but it has proved
80 profitable that many farmers have
gone into it largely.
